Wheat germ initiation factors 4F and (iso)4F interact differently with oligoribonucleotide analogues of rabbit alpha-globin mRNA
Abstract
The binding of capped oligoribonucleotide analogues of the 5' terminus of rabbit alpha-globin mRNA to wheat germ protein synthesis initiation factors eIF-4F and eIF-(iso)4F was measured by direct fluorescence techniques. An analysis of the equilibrium association constants (Keq) indicates that both eIF-4F and eIF-(iso)4F recognize primarily the m7G cap structure but differ in the recognition of other structural features. eIF-4F is sensitive to the position and sequence of hairpin structures within the oligoribonucleotide, while eIF-(iso)4F shows a preference for linear sequences. These differences suggest that wheat germ eIF-4F and eIF-(iso)4F may have discriminatory activity for mRNA recognition.
